Reasons to Remain Single

The pressure to be in a relationship, and the suggestion that anyone who isn’t in one is weird and pitiable, has very bad consequences for us all, forcing people into choices they shouldn’t necessarily have to make.

FURTHER READING

“Anyone who lives alone and manifests no longing to be in a relationship is – in our times – almost automatically (though more or less secretly) viewed as both pitiable and deeply troubled. It’s simply not thought possible to be at once alone and normal.

This sets us up for collective catastrophe, for it means that a huge number of people who have no innate wish to live with anyone else, and are at heart deeply ill-suited to doing so, are every year press-ganged and shamed into conjugal life, with disastrous results for all involved...”

Number one reason to be alone?


Freedom

[joybott]

Being in a relationship does nothing to cure loneliness

[captbosco]

The thought of no more drama is a powerful attraction to remaining single

[bambooflute]

No person is more beautiful than freedom.

I learned the hard way.

[jcnlaw]

Seasoned divorce lawyer here. Just my two cents: being alone means you will not be making a trip to my office. Become the best version of yourself! Don’t worry about what other people think.

Benefits of staying alone and single away from society.

1. You can have awesome quiet sleep
2. You have time to gain more knowledge and grow
3. You can clean your own place the way you want to or keep it messy without judgement.
4. Your electricity Bill is dirt cheap
5. Pets are always happy to see you come home from work.
6. No drama...no bullshit.


And the list goes on.

[SoldbySharone]

Single people are so Blessed.... Parents and Society should be ashamed of themselves for making people feel like second class citizens just because they are single... I guess misery really does love company.

[Vanessa-pdrr]

Never been happy in any relationship... Being single is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I don't answer to anyone. I do whatever I want, whenever I want, however I want.

[juniorvieira]

Roses are red, Violets are blue, whiskey is cheaper than dinner for two.

Reasons to stay single:
1. Love is delusional. your partner stays with you because he or she needs what you bring to the table. Once gone, he or she will leave you.
2. Modern dating is far more complicated and it makes it impossible to find a date,
3. You have to compromise your freedom and time when dating. Better use that time and freedom for your future.

[JayLookie]

I’m in my late 40’s and never got married, never had kids, no girlfriend, I live alone and my life is awesome just like it was when I was a teenager. I have no worries, no problems, no stress, no debt, etc. I live my life like it’s la la land. I do not watch the news and I do not want to know because frankly to be honest I don’t give a flying fawk what happens in the world. Because that only leads to problems if I know and I choose not to know. Whatever happens, let it happen. My life is totally different from the rest of the world put it like this you can never miss what you never had just because everybody does the same thing in life doesn’t mean I have to do it.

[anananwar]

I can see a few people getting confused between being unable to find a relationship, not wanting a relationship, and not needing a relationship.

[kobesan]

The fact that your partner can wake up one day and love someone else and there’s nothing you can do about it

[wasdclick]

Being single is infinite freedom. I love it.

"Romantic love is a dangerous illusion"

Pretty much what I have learned and come to terms with after all these years. Sentimentality is garbage and has clouded my mind and unlearning this has been a colossal yet fruitful effort.

People come and go. Relationships flourish and die. Appreciate the time you have with people and move on if interests differ and not cling to them. Improving myself for myself is my ultimate goal regardless of whether I am with someone or not.

[MicahBuzanANIMATION]

I think many confuse being alone with being lonely. Often I feel the loneliest when I'm surrounded by people.

Solitude makes for a solid dude.

[jerryc]

I don't mind people, I just like it better when they're not around

[danny-liio]

For many years, I “wanted” to get married, secretly just so people wouldn’t think I was a weirdo. I finally realized that the “weirdest” people I know, are the ones who drive themselves to misery trying to appear normal.

[Zolega]

I am doing a great job!

Almost 32, still single and untouched!
